What Walaa Wants
Raised in a refugee camp in the West Bank while her mother was in prison, Walaa dreams of being a policewoman, wearing a uniform, avoiding marriage, and earning a salary. Despite discouragement from her family, Walaa applies - and gets in. But her own rebellious behavior and a complicated relationship with her mother are a challenge, as are the circumstances under which she lives. Following Walaa from 15 to 21, this first-ever look inside the Palestinian police academy brings us the story of a young woman navigating formidable obstacles, learning which rules to break and follow, and disproving the negative predictions from her surroundings and the world at large.

Reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
